Tarot Readings for You for July 11, 2013 Thursday(c)

Guidance Here’s that age old drama of whether to flee the dysfunctional bunch of people or to wade in and set things straight like a leader, or whether ‘When your energy is going full-bore into your own progress, other people are not a problem for you.’So my note to myself today is to stay until it’s time to leave: To be able and willing (determined, even) to handle a challenge I am involved in; and to be able and willing to determine when my rightful role has ended. That is the point to hop off the train, right there … sometimes before the train wreck, sometimes because I resolve the situation. It could be my situation or others’. Leaving can be graduation, or can be just time to get out because the situation isn’t serving any purpose anymore. We are about the art and the instinct of knowing.

Instructions: Are YOU here for the first time? Come in! People love this place! Our site is divided into four sections: Guidance, Tarot Readings, Learn Tarot by Observation, and Learn Tarot by Pictures.

If you just want your daily look ahead, Guidance and Tarot Readings are all you need. ‘Guidance’ is a summary of what the cards are generally advising visitors to be aware of that day. ‘Tarot Readings’ is the actual word for word messages to everyone. So, go ahead and pick the sentences you feel are yours and decide whether to encourage or reject them for yourself. THEN, the family of commenters here would love for you to join in.

Four unrelated cards often make many different sentences. True here today. We do have a bit of a theme though: Chariot is a vehicle, and Knight of Wands is speeding over the road. Chariot is ambition and Knight of Wands is fast progress or getting ahead. Chariot is choosing and Knight of Wands is either/both to pursue or to get out of there. Chariot is determination and Knight of Wands is getting on with it in a hurry.

Right in the middle we have (Ten of Pentacles) people who don’t get along or the bad guys, bad neighbors, dysfunctional people, the deadwood in a company, the disorganized company, problems with people and people with problems – maximum social screwed-up-ness. Could be you with problems, like ‘Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen.’

As things stand at this point in my review, I have ‘running away from some bad situation or bad home life or bad company,’ and I also have ‘getting ahead by skilfully handling the same kind of situations.’ Why? Do you see it? Well, Chariot is the choice to leave, and Chariot is the determination and the skill to masterfully handle – and these refer, of course to the description we discussed already about Ten of Pentacles. It can go either way, with just these two Tarot cards.

Sooo now we toss the monkey wrench into the works, of Death – Death the negative modifier that also means ‘end.’ Death is always standing by ready to veto We already have contradiction in our story, without Death butting in. Be mindful that life is contradictory, so these counterbalancing sagas represent choices we can do with the same situation. Especially today, with Chariot meaning ‘choice.’

Here’s that age old drama of whether to flee the dysfunctional bunch of people or to wade in and set things straight like a leader, or whether ‘When your energy is going full-bore into your own progress, other people are not a problem for you.’ So my note to myself today is to stay until it’s time to leave: To be able and willing (determined, even) to handle a challenge I am involved in; and to be able and willing to determine when my rightful role has ended. That is the point to hop off the train, right there … sometimes before the train wreck, sometimes because I resolve the situation. It could be my situation or others’. Leaving can be graduation, or can be just time to get out because the situation isn’t serving any purpose anymore. We are about the art and the instinct of knowing.

Chariot is deliberate purposeful intent, ambition, achievement, success, getting the job done. It is a vehicle of any kind. It is about using the factors that disfavor your purpose to further your purpose. That idea is illustrated by the two sphinxes that pull in opposite directions while the driver must get the ‘forward’ show on the road.

Ten of Pentacles are those Bad People (BP) over there … maybe dysfunctional us? Not us! – they are Them. Those other guys. They are the office politics, they are the (corrupt) politicians, they are the low class relatives and ghettoites … and the other side – maybe even of a sports game. The people who make our problems, who are the trouble with our family, neighborhood, county, state, nation and world. You know. Those guys.

Its illustration shows, of course, a three-generational family quarrel: Gloating Grandpa, Wife with Grievance, Husband who ain’t listenin’ to Grandpa, Wife, or Squalling Brat. You know. That silent stare and the looking away that erases. A nice normal dysfunctional family like we have.

Death is the Great Negator “No.” It’s any negative word, and in a spread of this type, where each card is equal and not assigned to a position that gives it meaning (It doesn’t have a Self, or Cover, or any positional aspect like that), then it can modify negatively any of the other three cards. Its illustration only matches the ‘end’ meaning, not the negator meanings; and other readers differ from Tarot Verbatim(TM) about Death. The bishop picks up the crown of the dead king for the next cycle.

Knight of Wands is in a hurry, a rush, is speeding on the road, is getting away from or out of, or is pursuing avidly and energetically. You can see his horse almost airborne, the wind in his clothes and helmet scarf. His club is not extended. I still say he is more fleeing than pursuing. But not today. Today he is fast progress, he is getting ahead.

EXPLANATIONS: [Use the arrow at lower right to skip this and go to Comments.]

All the words of each Tarot card reading you see here are a phrase-by-phrase translation of the scene pictured on those cards: no filler, no psychic impressions, no spirit guide. Word-for-word Tarot Verbatim(TM).

In these group readings, there’s no question (and no Questioner) to limit what the four cards can mean, so they can mean opposite things.

When there is a negative-meaning card (a ‘negator,’ I call them), the readings contradict one another because that card can make any of the other cards in the spread negative. Negator cards mean things like: no, never, not, end, can’t, etc. Never be queasy about the number of ‘bad’ card because it takes two bad cards to say ‘not dead’ and only one to say ‘dead.’

Without a question or a Questioner, pronouns (I, you, he, she, we, they, etc.) are very flexible. I leave out pronouns in writing this as much as possible – awkward to do that sometimes. When I put them in parentheses, feel very free to change them around to suit yourself.

Now in a ‘real’ individual reading, the questioner asks a specific question which provides at least half the information! In an individual’s reading, the parties are identified and sometimes a time frame is too. Here, in a group reading, we cannot do that and so we get more variety of sentences.

Horoscopes are group readings, too. Astrology is based on someone else’s birth data, though, so a ‘solar’ group horoscope never really solidly applies to you! (Astrologers want you to know this!)

Tarot successfully addresses the group of visitors, whoever they are. It provides useful information that applies to their daily lives: They tell you this in the comments, for three years now. Tarot can tell you things about people you don’t know personally – such as whoever on your job has a say in your raise or continued employment there, whether that is one person or many. Visitors report that the information is equally accurate for new visitors as it is for the family of regular visitors.

Do you want to read Rider Waite Tarot, yourself? Start with Learn Tarot by Pictures to get the day’s cards’ individual meanings; then read Learn Tarot by Observation, which gives you the thinking those four cards inspire in a qualified reader. Next, Group Analytical Tarot Cards Reading is the various things those four cards can say (without a question to guide them). Then, Guidance is a summary.

In this way, your intuition allows you to learn to read the cards without much effort if you come often enough. Regular visitors can just put it together.
